The following code examples show how to do an atomic write of the TCNTn Register contents.
Writing any of the OCRnx or ICRn Registers can be done by using the same principle.
Note:
1. The example code assumes that the part specific header file is included.
The assembly code example requires that the r17:r16 register pair contains the value to be writ-
ten to TCNTn.
13.3.2
Reusing the Temporary High Byte Register
If writing to more than one 16-bit register where the high byte is the same for all registers written,
then the high byte only needs to be written once. However, note that the same rule of atomic
operation described previously also applies in this case.
13.4
Timer/Counter Clock Sources
The Timer/Counter can be clocked by an internal or an external clock source. The clock source
is selected by the Clock Select logic which is controlled by the Clock Select (CSn2:0) bits
located in the Timer/Counter control Register B (TCCRnB). For details on clock sources and
prescaler, see
“Timer/Counter3/1/0 Prescalers” on page 96
